For many, Islam isn’t just a religion or spiritual quest. It is a lifestyle under submission, obedience, peace, and purity unto God, Allah. And being the second-largest and fastest-growing religion in the world, Shi’a, Wahhabiyyah, Ahmadiyah, and Sufi Muslims honor Islam through Salat prayers five times a day worldwide. And if you’re a Muslim, you know that the pilgrimage to the holiest city in Islam, Mecca, is a life-changing experience. Or maybe you’re a non-religious history buff supporting fellow Muslim friends fast during daylight hours under Ramadan. And if you’re new to Islam, you might be ready to quiz yourself on the 114-chapter Qur’an book.
Muslims worldwide trust in one God, Allah, and the Prophet Muhammad’s vision gifted from the archangel Gabriel, to deliver wisdom, religious ritual, and strength to follow Islam. But, how well do you know the Prophet Muhammed and his teachings? Explore these Islam trivia questions and answers to test your knowledge of the Quran and historical events of Islam.
